The A–Z of
Error-Free Research
describes the design,
analysis, modeling, and
reporting of experiments,
clinical trials, and
surveys. The book shows you
when to use statistics, the
best ways to cope with
variation, and how to design
an experiment, determine
optimal sample size, and
collect useable data. It
also helps you choose the
best statistical procedures
for your application and
takes you step by step
through model development
and reporting results for
publication.

Transition from
Student to ResearcherHelping you become a
confident researcher, the
book begins with an overview
of when—and when not—to
use statistics. It guides
you through the planning and
data collection phases and
presents various data
analysis techniques,
including methods for sample
size determination. The
author then covers
techniques for developing
models that provide a basis
for future research. He also
discusses reporting
techniques to ensure your
research efforts get the
proper credit. The book
concludes with case-control
and cohort studies.

Learn
to use the bootstrap to
estimate the precision of
sample-based estimates and to
determine sample size,
permutations to test
hypotheses, and the
readily-interpreted decision
tree to replace arcane
regression methods.

This practical guide discusses
the applications of Resampling
methods in virtually every
research area. Each chapter
contains a wealth of examples
along with R and Stata code.
Topics include estimation, the
bootstrap method, multivariate
tests, decision trees, categorical
data, multiple hypotheses, and
model building.
